ATS will be holding another of it’s well attended thermal engineering webinars on Thursday, February 25th at 2PM EST, “How to Perform and Understand Temperature Measurement within Electronic Systems”
The importance of this topic was underscored in a recent interview with ATS thermal engineer, Mike Haskell, at ATS’s Norwood campus.
“We’ve seen a variety of issues in our lab from some simple, correctable, mistakes in using thermal measurement instruments’, said Mike, “if you don’t use the instruments day in and day out like our team does, simple mistakes can occurâ€.  Mike mentioned two errors the ATS thermal team has seen with customers.
“One of the first common mistakes we see in our thermal lab is the incorrect placement of thermal couples and the incorrect attachment of thermal couplesâ€. Mike continued, “This is most commonly seen in applications involved in monitoring of a processor of some kindâ€.
“The second most common problem in measurement that we see is an error resulting from incorrectly measuring ambient air temperature inside an electronics chassis.â€Â Mike noted that such an error is common because of either pre-heated air or irregular air flow patterns inside an electronics enclosure. Common errors such as these can result in incorrect data leading to a sub-optimal thermal management solution. ATS’s webinar on “How to Perform and Understand Temperature Measurement within Electronic Systems†is designed to equip the practicing thermal engineer to avoid such common pitfalls.
